Member OnlyGaining Greater Visibility Through Supplier Mapping
Despite numerous supply-chain upheavals inflicted by disasters and large-scale events— including hurricanes, factory fires, business mergers, and tsunamis— most companies still found themselves unprepared for the Covid-19 pandemic. In fact, following the outbreak in China, 70% of organizations were still in data collection and assessment mode, manually trying to identify which of their suppliers had a site in the specific locked-down regions of China. The disruption was significant and far reaching.
In contrast, those companies that invested in mapping their supply networks, emerged relatively unscathed. Accordingly, supply network mapping needs to be part of any company’s risk mitigation strategy.
